The BTA encourage clubs to use these guidelines as a basis, which will result in more even and competitive pennant grades. We understand some players might fall on the borderline and in between two grades, in such cases, we expect players and clubs to be honest in their ability to maintain the integrity of the competition.
Our aim is to promote balanced matchups, allowing players to challenge themselves and grow while maintaining the integrity of the game. By following these recommendations, we continue to work towards a more enjoyable and rewarding tennis experience for everyone involved.
